Gambrell's Murderers Indicted

The Kinds County Grand Jury
last week presented indictments
against Hamilton, Eubanks and
Albrecht for the murder of Roderick
Gambrell, and Monday they were
arralgned. The State moved for O
change of venue, and the defense fol
continuance. Tuesday Judge
Wharton decided in favor Of the
prosecution and granted a change Of
venue TO Rankin county.
The meshes of the law are grad
ually but surely tightening around
the doomed men. Four times have
they already been adjudged guilty
of the. horrible crime with which
the stand charged-Grst, by the
Coroner's Jury; second, by an able,
upright judge; third, by a grand
jury of their fellow-county men, and
last but not by no means least, the
great public who has read the testi
mony and forever fixed upon them
the seal of condemnation.
The case will come up in the Ran
kin Circuit Court the second Mon.
day in August.

ton of nominations is settled, it is in

A scrip Of War History.

A friend sends US the following
scrap Of war history from Virgin
Ia paper, recounting the death Of
one Of the bravest men who ever
drew q sword In defense of the Lost
Cause or any other
DEATH OF A BRAVE MAN, p.
We mentioned In Yesterdays Ex-
press that Lieut. Gambrell, of Mis-.
sissippi, n Confederate scout, was
killed on Sunday last about ten
miles from the Biackwater river, by
the enemy's vidertes. A gentleman,
just from Isk Of Wight county, gives
the particulars Of Lieut.. GambrelPs
death. They stamp him one Of the
bravest men this war has produced.
Lieut.. G. was overhauled near Bar
hams Cross Roads, near Isk OF
Wight county, by twenty-one of the
enemy, who Immediately demanded
a surrender. He instantly replied :
Il never have surrendered and never
intend TO-" at the same time draw
ing his revolvers and emptying the
contents of each before he fell.
Seven OF the enemy were killed and
two wounded in the brief space OF
four minutes. when the Lieutenant
Tell, MORALLY wounded.
The survivors Immediately repair,
ed to the house of Mrs. Ely, in the
immediate vicinity, and told her
that a particular friend of hers was
lying dead in the road a short dis
lance off. Upon asking his name
and being told that it was Lieut.
Gambrell, Mrs. Ely replied that
she would bury him if it cost her
life. "You ought to-" replied the
Yankee, "lor a Drawer man never
lived" and they then related to Mrs
Ely the particulars of bis death, and
how desperately he defended him
self.
A lieutenant who commanded the
gang, said to Mrs. Ely lie though,
at one time Lieut.. G. would kill
him, but added that hail he done so,
it would have consoled his friends
to know that he met death at the
hands of as brave a man as ever
breathed.
True to her pledge, Mrs. Ely pro
cured a cart, and calling upon a
couple of ladies in the neighbor.

The Alliance noh-poIfscal.

Last week We underi o0k b. sh
the aims and purposes OF tbs Farm
er's Alliance which haze been, and
are now being, organized in This
county. The constitution Is very
clear, and there is not line or
syllable. in it which can he con-
strued as inimicablc to any Other
industry or interest. The order is
also non political, and whenever is
heard a report that the Alliance has
centered upon any particular in
dividual for an Office, it can be set
down as erroneous The individuals
composing each alliance have their
personal preference, but there has
never been, nor will there ever be,
an effort TO commit tue organiza-
tion to particular man or men, nor
are such things discussed at all in
the meetings. The farmers are not
organizing as a combination against
men engaged in other caIlings, but
for their own mutual benefit, edu-
cationally and financially. In uni
ty there is strength, and they have
united solely To secure such con.
cessions in the way Of trade and
commerce as they could not
otherwise do.-Signal CopidhdA

We copy from the BRooKHAvEN
LEADER a chapter of the current his
tory of Mississippi that is disgrace,

history of the murderous ring that
is responsible to-day for the assas,
sination of poor Gambrell. 1t is a
history of cupidity, of lying, deceit
and treachery and carries with il
conviction OF its truth. No one can
read this, hearing in mind all the
facts attending the cowardly MUIR
der of the young editor, without a
shudder. 1t is plain and simple
statement Of facts, and in convin-
ing proof OF the fraud and corrup
tion that surrounds and inheres in
penitentlary leasing. The system
is bad and everywhere has been pro-
tested against because it is bad. In
this case it has reached the extrem-
ity of wickedness. 1t ought to be
abolished. The irresponsible power

gets domineering and dictatorial
spirit in the "boss" who finally
comes to regard all men as quite as
answerable and responsible to him as
the prisoners he, nine times out
Of ten, inhumanely treats, From
bossing them, sometimes in the
tiendish spirit that is one of the
flowers OF responsibility, he comes
to boss communities and parties,
and evidently ends in numbering an
editor who saw bis duty plainly in
denouncing so villainous a system.
